Best Universities in U.S.A.
Making decisions about college is very difficult. What is the best school for you? Which school has the best program? Which school has the best graduation rates? Which colleges can I afford the tuition to? Where will I be accepted? It can be a very confusing and very overwhelming process. There is a lot of pressure involved when choosing a university. Your degree and the college you earned it from gives you a particular reputation based on the perception of that school. This decision will affect your future career opportunities, financial future, and your quality of life.
There are many ways to rank schools. You can rank them by the tuition, you can rank them by graduation rates, you can rank them by rate of pay for graduates, you can base your decision on the enrollment or the diversity at a particular college. The U.S. News and World Report has recently put out a list of the best colleges and universities in 2009. I would like to list the top ten ranked universities, as well as give you information about each of those universities in order to help you make the right decision about the best college for you. Remember that rankings are meant for the purpose of helping you make your decision. They should not be the only factor when determining the best university for you. University #1: Harvard University Harvard University is in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The tuition and fees for Harvard University in 2008-2009 was $36,173.
Harvard University University #2: Princeton University Princeton University is located in Princeton, NJ. The tuition for the 2008-2009 year was $34,290.
Princeton University University #3: Yale University Yale University is located in New Haven, Connecticut. The tuition and fees for 2008-2009 was $35,300.
This is Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. University #4: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The tuition and fees for the 2008-2009 school year was $36,390.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology University #4: Stanford University Stanford University is located in Stanford, California. The tuition for this university in 2008-2009 was $36,030.
This is Stanford University in California. University #6: California Institute of Technology The California Institute of Technology is located in Pasadena, California. The annual tuition and fees for 2008-2009 was $34,437.
California Institute of Technology University #6: University of Pennsylvania The University of Pennsylvania can be found in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The total for the tuition and fees for 2008-2009 was $37,526.
This is the University of Pennsylvania. University #8: Columbia University Columbia University is found in New York City, New York. The tuition and fees for 2008-2009 was $39,326.
This is Columbia University in New York City. University #8: Duke University Duke University is located in Durham, North Carolina. The total cost for tuition and fees in 2008-2009 was $37, 525.
Duke University in Durham, North Carolina University #8: University of Chicago The University of Chicago is found in Chicago, Illinois, and has tuition and fee total of $37,632 for the 2008-2009 year for students.
This is the University of Chicago. Now these are the top eight ranked universities of 2009 and you are probably wondering why these have rose to the top out of the hundreds of universities and colleges out there. There are many factors that come into play when trying to configure what colleges are top ranked. Some of the main factors that are taken into the decision such as the feel of the campus life, activities on the campus, the sports teams that the universities have, academic offerings, location, cost and the financial aid availability. They also take into account the attitude of students, the interactions between the faculty and the students and the graduation rate within four years.
Yet even though you may not get into the top eight or ten or even twenty colleges should not disappoint you. These colleges are not only the top universities in the United States but they are also the most expensive. If you can get into these institutions on scholarships, grants, financial aid and other forms of assistance then that is amazing but if you cannot afford these higher learning institutions then do not feel alone. Many people cannot afford to go to these places and that is understandable. The ways that these universities are measured and ranked are a good way for you to figure out what place is right for you. IF you combine our ranking techniques along with your intuition and feel of the campus that you go and visit, you will be able to make a great and informed decsion. Finding the right university is a hard decision to make. You want to make sure that first and foremost they offer the majors and classes that you are interested in taking. That they also have programs, work studies, internships and even externships to help you flourish in the career of your choice. Once you have that then you want to be able to enjoy the campus for what it is, see if you feel connected to the place, how are the people? do you enjoy the professors? do you feel comfortable? These are questions that you want to ask yourself before you make the biggest decision of your life. No matter what university you decide to go to, as long as you feel secure and comfortable there and feel as though they will represent you properly and you will enjoy your time there, that is all that really will matter. Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life!
